Nevada 5th school to nix volleyball match vs. San Jose St.
Nevada became the latest team to call off a women's volleyball match against San Jose State, citing not enough players.
The Wolf Pack were originally scheduled to host San Jose State this weekend, but Nevada players announced they would refuse to take the court, saying they "refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes" without providing further details.
Nevada's athletic department had said the program wouldn't back out from the match, referencing state equality laws, but also said that no players will be disciplined if they do not participate.
The game was switched to San Jose "in the interest of both programs," the teams had said in a joint statement -- with no further explanation -- before Nevada elected to forfeit.
